For a long-term and natural-looking replacement to missing teeth, modern procedures at DentalWorks - Rochester Hills in Rochester Hills, MI by our dentists offer dental implants to build and reestablish a complete, healthy smile.

The false teeth can be dyed and contoured by our dentists to fit in with the patient's teeth for a realistic look. For patients who are need to replace one tooth or several teeth, dental implants at DentalWorks - Rochester Hills can be a wonderful, long-term choice.

What to Expect

@headingTag>

Before a dental implant is started, a full exam will be performed by our dentists to determine the health and strength of the gums and jawbone. If the individual is an acceptable candidate for dental implants, oral X-rays and impressions will assist our dentists to decide the best placement for the dental implants in the jaw. The individual may be given sedation and local anesthesia to relax the patient while our dentists put the titanium post into the jaw. In the next 3 - 6 months, the bone and dental implant will grow together while healing and as soon as the implant is stable, the false tooth or teeth will be joined to the implant through a connector. Our dentists may alter the implant and replacement teeth for a comfortable and lasting fit.
